The railway line was originally constructed in the late 19th century as part of the local light railway network connecting Alwernia to Krzeszowice.
The draisines utilized on the track are custom-built vehicles designed specifically for pedal-powered rail transit.
The route traverses a unique geological area known for its proximity to volcanic porphyry outcrops.
The iron bridge located along the route is a preserved relic of the original 19th-century railway engineering.
The operation of the draisines helps maintain the historical integrity of the otherwise abandoned industrial rail infrastructure.
The Local Draisine Railway in Regulice operates on a repurposed section of the former Alwernia-Regulice railway line. Visitors pedal four-person rail bikes along a scenic 5-kilometer route through the rural landscape of the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland. The track passes through dense forests and rural fields, providing a physical, interactive way to experience regional heritage infrastructure. Each draisine is manually powered by the passengers, requiring moderate physical effort. The track originates from the historical transit line that once served local industrial and agricultural transport needs. It is currently managed as a recreational tourist attraction focusing on active outdoor leisure.
The mid-route iron bridge crossing offers the most scenic backdrop of the forest canopy.
Bring a bottle of water as there are no refreshment kiosks along the actual track route.
